A bold, high-contrast serif with sharply cut wedge terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs are compact and bracketed, with pointed joins and crisp transitions between thick and thin strokes. Counters are generally open and rounded, while curves (notably in C, G, O, S) maintain a smooth, controlled stress. The lowercase shows a sturdy, text-ready rhythm with a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and firm, slightly tapered verticals; numerals are weighty and stable with clear, traditional forms.
Well suited to headlines and subheads in magazines and editorial layouts, as well as book covers and poster typography where contrast and sharp terminals can carry personality. It can also support brand marks and identity systems aiming for a classic, authoritative voice with a bit of bite.
The tone is assertive and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a touch of drama and refinement, producing a look that feels both classic and slightly theatrical rather than neutral.
Likely designed to deliver a confident serif voice with pronounced contrast and flared, wedge-like detailing—combining classic proportions with sharper, more contemporary cutting to stand out in display and editorial contexts.
The design’s pointed terminals and flared endings create distinct sparkle at display sizes, while the robust shapes keep it from feeling delicate. The heavy weight and contrast suggest careful spacing and prominent word-shape, though dense setting may need generous leading for comfortable reading.
